setuidWhen did Linux start requiring a GUI and a logged-in user to start networking? Did I miss a meeting on this?00:26
setuidI need wireless to start up when the machine boots, regardless of whether or not a GUI is installed, running or a user is logged in. How can I do that?00:26
Amaranthsetuid: NetworkManager is doing it, not "the computer"00:26
setuidThis "used to" work, but has since been removed over the last 2 releases of Ubuntu00:26
AmaranthI think the answer is "use the new gdm where NetworkManager will run and get you connected"00:27
setuidAmaranth, Ok, so how do I neuter NetworkManager, and get networking back the way it was before?00:27
AmaranthStill requires a GUI but...00:27
Amaranthsetuid: edit /etc/network/interfaces to setup your network00:27
setuidAmaranth, gdm no longer works in Intrepid or Jaunty, I'm stuck booting to CLI, and using startx.00:27
maxbNetworkManager does not require a logged in user00:27
setuidIf I try to start gdm, it just tries to reload X a bunch of times, and defaults to some very basic level of capability (320x480 or something)00:28
maxbLog in, edit the connection, and set it to be a system-wide one00:28
setuidOk, let me try that00:28
setuidThis all used to work cleanly with wpa_supplicant00:28
maxbsetuid: You're free to abandon NM and use wpa_supplicant if you wnat00:29
setuidI also noticed that Intrepid runs my T61p a *LOT* hotter than Hardy did, which causes the physical hardware to hard-lock a dozen times a day.00:29
setuidIf I pull the Intrepid drive out, put in Hardy (same exact package list installed), it never overheats00:29
setuidit's pretty maddening when I've got dozens of apps loaded, to have the laptop just hard-lock on me00:30
setuidSo I have to OC the fan, which makes the system LOUD... just to keep it from overheating under Intrepid00:30
maxbInteresting, can't say I kept an eye on the temperature hardy vs. intrepid00:30
maxbThis is a channel for Jaunty, btw :-)00:31
setuidI know00:31
setuidI was trying Jaunty to see if it was any better than Intrepid00:31
Amaranthhehe, the apply button in Edit Connections doesn't work00:31
setuidAside from no sound, wireless, video or WWAN support... it isn't.00:31
Amaranthso if I tick "Make available to all users" it won't do it because I can't apply the changes00:31
maxbYeah - I find I have to mess with another setting (e.g. Connect automatically) before it will be willing to save the change00:32
maxbsetuid: Well, I'm sorry you're suffering so, but my Z61p likes Jaunty just fine00:32
setuidI've had trouble in Intrepid and Jaunty with the sierra driver... never comes out of suspend. Hardy's version works fine, however.00:32
maxbWhat's a sierra?00:32
setuidseems like we've de-evolved though, from Hardy (rock-solid, everything worked out of the box), to Intrepid (trouble with video and wireless) to Jaunty (almost nothing works right)00:33
setuidsierra is my onboard WWAN card.. not wifi, but the wirleess broadband card.00:33
maxbsetuid: You're moaning a little too aggressively to generate sympathy00:33
Amaranthmaxb: Nope, the problem is it wants to use PolicyKit for the all users setting but seems to be failing00:33
setuidIf I suspend (Intrepid or Jaunty), and resume... wifi comes back, but sierra does not. Requires a power off, power on (not just a reboot)00:33
maxbAmaranth: different bug, I guess00:34
Amaranthmaxb: Doesn't matter what else I change, once I change that setting I can't apply00:34
Amaranthyeah00:34
maxbToday's updates have caused all my compiz window decorations (title bars, etc.) to turn into a featureless light grey, anyone else seeing this?00:51
crdlbyes, everyone is setting that00:56
Amaranthmaxb: downgrade metacity01:17
gourgior just use emerald :D01:20
Amaranthgourgi: Yeah, say that again in 6 months :P01:23
Amaranth(emerald is going away)01:24
gourgiAmaranth in six months i'll say "or just use jasper" :-P01:24
RAOFAmaranth: Is that emerald not being ported to compiz++, or you writing a shiny new lecacyless decorator? :P01:24
AmaranthRAOF: emerald is not being ported01:24
Amaranthand jasper is kind of dead too (and probably not the way to go)01:24
gourgiAmaranth that's not what i 've heard about jasper ;)  http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/woah-what/01:25
crdlbheh -_-01:26
Amaranthgourgi: that really means nothing01:26
Amaranthgourgi: that's "hopefully this happens"01:27
gourgiso it is something01:27
Amaranthgourgi: You should really ignore that01:27
crdlbyou could make a blog and it would have just as much importance01:27
syockitno, it ain't gonna kill you01:28
syockitbut merging compiz++ is pure destruction!01:29
AmaranthThe jasper code base might be a good place to pull stuff from when doing a different decorator01:29
maxbAmaranth: metacity is fine for me... compiz isn't01:30
gourgii thought sam was talking as part of the compiz developers not just expressing his own points01:30
gourgianyway Amaranth will talk about it in six months :)01:31
Amaranthgourgi: The point is no one is working on jasper so whatever he says is kind of...yeah01:31
gourgitrue01:31
gourgiit was the first thing i asked myself when i heard the news about the future of compiz " what about emerald?" i hope someone will give emerald/jasper some love too ...01:33

kazagistarwow, the bleeding edge is FUN!02:15
kazagistaris it normal for alphas to grow slowly more broken as time goes on?02:16
maxbNo, it's normal for alpha to grow differently broken as time goes on :-)02:17
crdlbI would say that's perfectly reasonable, as new upstream versions are not always introduced at the beginning of the development cycle02:17
syockitkazagistar: i guess so. it's always like normal breakage on a1,2, then more breakage on a3,4, then superbreakage on a5!!02:17
kazagistarI can't log in through normal boot (only rescue works) the window decorator stopped drawing, and just now, Gnome-do decided to quit after every command I give it (kinda defeating the point) :D02:18
syockitthen suddenly everything becomes fine again on beta02:18
kazagistarhaha02:18
kazagistarthe great thing is, it is all perfectly useable02:18
syockitkazagistar: your kernel/xorg update, maybe?02:18
kazagistarmaybe02:18
kazagistarbut, I just use rescue, and then hit continue boot, and it load fine02:19
kazagistarplus, when I ctl-alt-f1, the screen stays blank02:19
kazagistarit is something with display... it all works, I just cannot see it if I use default boot02:20
kazagistardoes that sound like xorg? if so, I will report it, but I thought tty was separate from xorg02:21
kazagistarit seems kernel related to me02:21
syockitkazagistar: ahh, I remember there's something with putty not running at startup... a rare case, that was02:22
kazagistarum... the thing is, it still works... I can log out, and execute commands02:22

d1bunless you have installed bonjour ...02:54
legodudeah, multicast02:54
|ns|nR8it sends to a multicast address when your network connection first goes up02:54
legodudeknew it was some magic02:54
|ns|nR8not sure if its the exact same adress02:54
|ns|nR8i was running a packet sniffer over ppp on windows02:55
|ns|nR8soon as dialup connects it sends to all routers multicast or something02:55
|ns|nR8googling has lots of people with the same question02:56

|ns|nR8hmm i think i found some answers02:59
|ns|nR8http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS02:59
|ns|nR8now i just wonna know how to turn it off03:01
macod1b: bonjour is only on mac03:16
macoso yeah, itd be avahi on linux03:17
macoi thought multicast was all terribly broken on ipv4 though03:17

d1bsee apple03:20
macohuh?03:21

macoyes, apple makes bonjour, but i thought that client was only for osx03:21
d1bit exists03:21
macoweird03:21
d1bnotreally03:21
cwilludrat, suspend is broken again03:22
syockitmaco: you must have forgotten all the ruckus apple caused the windows iTunes update some months ago03:23
macosyockit: no, i knew about that. i didnt think they sent bonjour with it though03:23
syockitmaco: yup they did. evil apple ;)03:24
macoer, at least, assuming you mean the "if you install quicktime, we force you to get itunes, and if you install that, we force you to get safari"03:24
syockitmaco: no, it was the apple updater03:24
macoright if you install any updates, they force that crap on your03:25
macocant update quicktime without getting itunes, period03:25
syockitmaco: there was an update for the updater, and the updater tries to install bonjour when updating itunes03:25
macosafari might be optional...03:25
macooh03:25
syockiteverything was optional, but nowadays optional seems to mean default03:25
kazagistarobnoxious browser-pushing defaults differ from wise paternalistic defaults03:31
kazagistarlike, if it only installed Safari by default if IE was the only detected browser, that would be just fine by me :)03:32
d1bsyockit: neat i like bonjour03:35
syockitwhat does it do anyway03:35
macosyockit: service auto-discovery03:36
macoit can tell you "hey, this LAN includes a printer and a set of speakrs!"03:36
macoand autoconfig the wireless printer and let you automagically play your music through the house speakers03:37
syockithmm? how is that supposed to work with windows03:38
syockitit seems os-centric03:38
syockitoic, all the apps who knows it will use it03:38
macoyeah im not sure how auto-config it can get on a system like windows03:39
macobut you can tell windows media player "hey, go play through the LAN speakers instead of the onboard ones"03:39
syockit"A full installation of Bonjour for Windows will include a plug-in for Internet Explorer, a printer wizard and the network communication services."03:39

SwedeMikeI have the same problem with a fresh 9.04, so it seems to be a common problem04:42
macoRAOF: why are *both* running?04:43
RAOFThey're not; this is (IIUC) a change in libmetacity; gtk-window-decorator uses libmetacity to draw metacity themes, and doesn't like the change.04:44
crdlbby metacity, he means libmetacity-private04:44
macooh04:47
crdlbRAOF: hey, you're smart; why is gwd creating a new colormap in create_pixmap? :D04:48
RAOFcrdlb: Because it'd like a colourmap with an alpha channel?04:49

crdlbgdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap?04:49
RAOFSCORE!  What a guess.  I've never even read any of the gwd code :)04:50
crdlbI mean, isn't it perfectly adequate to use that function?04:50
crdlbthat's what's upsetting metacity (creating a new one with gdk_colormap_new)04:51

Amaranthcrdlb: Is that new?04:53
crdlbthe gdk_colormap_new has been there forever04:55
RAOFgdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap is newish, I believe.04:56
RAOFgwd probably predates it.04:57
crdlb2.804:57
crdlband gwd already uses that function in a couple of places04:58
* RAOF has got nothing04:58
crdlbwell, it definitely works when I change it to set the colormap of the pixmap to that of the style window (which has already been made rgba via that function)04:59

cwilluworkaround:  compiz-decorator --replace --metacity-theme blah10:42
cwillu(literally, blah, doesn't matter what you put there as long as it _isn't_ a valid theme)10:42
virtuelvI guess I can live with that fix for now10:44
virtuelvwhat seems positive after this morning's update, is that intel+xorg+compiz no longer equals "slow"10:45
mnemovirtuelv: that bug only happens after vt-switch, suspend/resume or after xorg has been running for a long time usually10:46
mnemoi dont think it's fixed10:46
virtuelvhmph10:46
mnemovirtuelv: the third patch proposed for it seems to improve the situtation though, but that patch hasnt been commit to ubuntu yet --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/32081310:47

virtuelvdunno what's different today then, but compiz has been OK for me so far today, which is quite unlike what I've experiencing any other day when coming in to work10:47
cwilluvirtuelv, there's another bug with 945's+gem, if that's what you're seeing, there's a few workarounds.  There may even be a fix :p10:47

eXlinI have problems to do anything with jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso disk (burned in tao mode). I cant do anything (install, livecd, check cd...) without that i goes to BusyBox. i hava alpha4. my hardware is Athlon 64 3000+, 2Gb, 200G maxtor ata, nvidia 6600 256Mt....14:41
eXlinany suggestions why it wont work? i tryed safe graphics mode. i checked few files and they all matched to md5 checks14:42
charlie-tcaeXlin: I would ask that in #ubuntu+1, maybe. They deal with jaunty14:47
eXlineh, istn this ubuntu+1?14:48
Assidcharlie-tca:  stopdrinking!!!14:48
charlie-tcaMe just waking up. Sorry for the bad information14:52
eXlinSo any suggestion what could cause that installation problem in jaunty-amd64?15:04
ikoniaeXlin: burn it with a supported application ?15:06
eXlink3b15:07
ikoniarun the verification check on the cd ?15:07
ikoniacheck the md5's on the image before you burn ?15:07
eXlinbut i mean, it boots from that disk, gives start navigation and i checked few random files after burn and their md5 was correct. and .iso image has correct md515:08
eXlinit gives graphical loading window of ubuntu but falls to BusyBox15:09
ikoniado the checks I suggested first15:09
ikoniajust because it boots does not mean it's fine15:09
eXlincan run verification check on the cd because it goes to BusyBox also15:10
eXlinand i have done md5 check to image on my hd15:11
eXlinburned it to cd-rw. didnt validate burned data but it rarely fails15:11
charlie-tcaIs that running the "Install Ubuntu" directly or through the desktop after running the liveCD?15:12
ikoniaeXlin: if that goes to busy box the cd has a problem15:12
ikoniaeXlin: that's %100 run in memory15:12
eXlinok15:12
eXlinhmm... well i am doing usb-installation image atm so maybe that will help on that15:13

cypherdelichello, can somebody please prove me wrong that gnome-calculator can't calculate 2,54*1680 or even 2,54 *3 ???16:41
cwillucypherdelic, as in 2.54?16:42
cwillu4267.2?16:42
cwilluworks for me16:42
charlie-tca4267.2 here16:42
cypherdelicwait i get a ridicolus products when multiplying inch16:42
cwilluinch?16:42
charlie-tcaMine doesn't have inch16:43
cypherdelic2,54*3=762 ; yes inch (2,54cm) ; 2,54*1680=4267216:44
cwillucypherdelic, gnome calc doesn't have unit conversions that I know of16:44
cypherdelicI use the unit as i input *2,54 ;)16:44
cwillucypherdelic, your locale may not be set right, in which case you'd need 2.5416:44
charlie-tcaBut perhaps it is because it calculates in tenths, and inches are usually measured in eighths or sixteenths16:44
cypherdeliccwillu: I clicked onKommatar16:44
cwillucypherdelic, no idea, works fine for me though16:45
cypherdelici just want to calc 2,54*3 ok and i dont get the correct procuct16:45

bluesmokecypherdelic: try 2.54*316:45
cypherdelicmy result is 762 :(16:45
bluesmokejust like that16:46
cypherdelicwhen i just calc 2,5 *3 it is correct :(16:46
cwillucypherdelic, is the ',' actually showing up when you type it?16:46
cypherdelici dont type it i clicked it in the gui, yes it is shown :/16:46
